What it does
Running an online course means a lot of small messages: welcoming new students, congratulating people who finish, and nudging those who have gone quiet. Sending these manually takes time and things slip through. This add-on for LearnDash LMS handles that work with rules you set once. You pick from 13 triggers, such as course enrollment, lesson completion, quiz results, assignment uploads and inactivity, and the plugin sends the matching message when the event happens.
Each notification can apply to a specific course, lesson or topic, or across your whole LMS. You can send it right away or after a delay measured in days, which suits reminders and check-ins. Messages are personalized with 34 dynamic shortcodes that insert details like the learner's name, course title, quiz score and lesson information. You also choose who receives each one: the learner, their group leader, site administrators, or a mix. Course creators can use the same tools to tell learners about new courses or extra content.
Best for
- Course creators running sites on LearnDash LMS
- Training programs with group leaders tracking learners
- Online schools wanting automatic reminders for inactive students

Questions about LearnDash Notifications
Does this work without LearnDash?
No. It is an add-on built for LearnDash LMS, and its triggers, settings and shortcodes all depend on LearnDash courses, lessons, topics, quizzes and assignments.
Can I remind learners who have stopped working on a course?
Yes. Inactivity is one of the 13 available triggers, and you can add a delay in days so the reminder goes out after a set period without activity.
Can notifications go to someone other than the learner?
Yes. For each notification you can choose the learner, their group leader, site administrators, or any combination. This helps managers and admins keep track of progress alongside students.
How personal can the messages be?
You can use 34 dynamic shortcodes that fill in details such as the learner's name, the course title, quiz scores and lesson information, so each message reflects that person's activity.
